: I am reading it (and loving it), I should be finished by
: Wednesday or so. It's a fascinating historical novel,
: written with technical mastery, social insight, a
: curious way by the author to intrude in the narration,
: and a great fresco of XVIIth Century Europe.

: Our October reading selection is The Betrothed (or
: I
: promessi sposi ) by Alessandro Manzoni.
:
: What plans do the rest of you have for reading this
: book?
:
: I ask only because of its considerable length and the
: fact that I read it just a few years ago. If there is
: to be only limited participation, then I might not
: re-read it since I still remember the basic elements
: of the story.
